I often wondered what happened to the substantial files of UFO collection, of our own Colin Norris, when he passed away a few years ago.

I understand his son was caretaking it all......not sure.

In September 2016 I asked Grant Norris, the son of the late Australian researcher Colin Norris, for permission to make his father's UFO newsletters freely available online. He declined, due to unspecified issues relating to his father's estate. I asked again in about 2018, with no response, and again in June 2021 (again with no response).

I may ask again but, well, I'd probably be wasting my time and I don't want to irritate his son so I'll probably leave it another year or two before revisiting my permission request.

As for some of the other collections mentioned above:

(1) If someone gets permission from Michael Swords (and any other necessary permissions) to upload the scans that were done of his collection a few years then I have a copy ready to upload and those files could be online today. (I've made my copy searchable. I'm surprised this wasn't done as part of the original digitising effort as its pretty easy and makes the collection much much more useful for any research given the way those scans were organised...).

(2) If someone sorts out the permission position, I can upload searchable scans of a significant part of the Stanton Friedman archives. Again, this could be done today. Oh, and the title of this thread (based on that of a Vice article) is quite simply wrong to refer to Stan Friedman's files as the "largest single collection of UFO material". It was a fairly large collection, but certainly isn't the largest.

Oooops ….mis-posted post in wrong thread…
